restoring an ampeg cab

Hello all

I am contemplating restoring or altering my ampeg 6x10. No its not too old so maybe restoring is a bad word. I am playing out less and less, especially bass, but i still record quite a bit having my own studio. Functionally my amp is perfect, but cosmetically both sides have some patches missing of tolex. a few of the rubber feet on the back have fallen off, and the wheels look crooked. Heres what id like to do. I dont want to have to retolex my whole amp. I want to just patch it by cutting out squares where the amp is ripped. Its not terrible, i just want it to look perfect again. Id like to fix the feet on the back, and possibly replace the wheels. Heres the only thing i want to modify. The grill is perfect but boring. I want to build or buy the wood frame, then get some crazy grill cloth so i have an extra snazzy grill to put on there. Has anyone ever done this? Any suggestions or do you think itd just be too expensive to be worth it? Thanks in advance.
